Oakland County authorities raided the Oak Park headquarters and retail complex of medical marijuana entrepreneur and advocate Rick Ferris, 46, of Berkley but made no arrests "because none of us were breaking the law," Ferris' spokesman Rick Thompson said.

"It seemed more like intimidation than anything else," Thompson said after the raid Wednesday.

About eight sheriff's deputies presented a search warrant as they burst into the Michigan Medical Marijuana Magazine office, the adjoining registered nonprofit Big Daddy's Compassion Club and the Big Daddy's Hydro shop that sells equipment for indoor plant cultivation, he said.

The raid cemented the Oakland County Sheriff's Office as hard-liners in the statewide debate about whether medical marijuana patients and establishments have abused the Michigan Medical Marijuana Act. Oakland deputies raided establishments in Ferndale and Waterford last year, making dozens of arrests. Oakland County authorities could not be reached for comment Wednesday night.

1. Nice Jackbooted waste of taxpayers' money.......

2. Sure, but they "seized" $20K.

Guess they were hoping for a much larger payday.
